Every time I hear the title of this week's movie Reminders of Him I imagine the book it's based off of is actually like a Where's Waldo book, and you have to find all the reminders before turning the page. If only... Who are we kidding, we probably would have cried just as much with that book as we did during this movie. Also this week Steven Spielberg causes some on show controversy, turns out shorter sound effects aren't always better sound effects, and we finally name the podcast cat!

There's been a lot of buzz about Maggie Gyllenhaal's The Bride! and regardless of good or bad buzz we had to see what it was all about. Some might even say we're married to our commitment to watch these movies. Some...or a few... OK maybe none at all. But besides that there's a long list of 3 new trailers to talk about AND lots of miss-queued sound effects this week. You're not going to want to miss it.

Scream is one of the most prolific meta horror movie franchises of all time, but the question remains: When does Ghostface quit the killing game and join The Wu-Tang Clan? They're really milking this origin story, if you ask us. Besides getting our hair scared white, we also have a nice roster of trailers to go over and we even hear from some long time listeners.

Watching How to Make a Killing isn't like a step-by-step guide, but it's a close second. Of course, after learning such wise ways, we burnt our brains out reviewing 13 trailers this week. That's right, 13 trailers for Friday the 13th. Spooky, isn't it? I'm scared just thinking about it!

Sometimes someone does something that makes so little sense that you can't wrap your head around it. You can't imagine how the train of thought started or where it's going, and you can't leave it alone. So it sits in your mind stewing as the confusion slowly congeals into rage. That's what The Secret Agent has done to us. Does anyone know of a cure?

This week we dip our toes into international waters and see No Other Choice. To say discussion on this is polarizing would be an understatement. However, we can't deny our bravery and new commitment to finish our redemption arc next week. But what could that entail?
